When I was a kid I thought that Michael Jackson

No you didn't.

I don’t care if this is true. It made me laugh.

I get what you’re saying.

When I was very young, I would hear The Supremes on one radio channel and then another station soon after. I wondered how they got to the second location so fast.

OP = Rosie's character in "Riding the Bus..."

I believe it! When I was a kid, I thought the people whose voices I heard coming from the radio were tiny little people IN the radio.

R5, u r dum.

Really, OP - you shouldn't have.

I remember being amazed to learn at around three years old that live-action films had REAL PEOPLE in them. Before that, I thought live-action characters were just as fake as cartoon characters.

I thought that husbands had nothing to do with pregnancy bc they always seemed surprised at the announcement, at least on TV.

R5 = Angie Baby

In 1966 when I was five we got a kitten. We'd had it for a couple of days and were outside playing with it when the next door neighbor's kid got it wet with the hose. The kitten was nowhere to be found the next day and when I asked about it my conniving bitch 8 year old sister said that it died from getting wet. A few days after that we were watching TV and I saw a commercial where some kids are handling a kitten who somehow got wet. I fucking lost my 5 year old shit because I was convinced the TV kitten was going to die because it got wet. I never did find out what happened to our kitten.

I thought that when musicians recorded an album they did it in one take. They'd start the recording, perform a song, pause for three or four seconds then start the next one until the album was completely recorded.

R11. How the hell could you NEVER find out what happened to that poor kitten? Your family enjoy abusing animals?

I thought there was a little man inside the TV controlling everything.

I also thought that in movies, anyone who was a couple HAD to be together in real life in order to make the movie.

I was more sophisticated than R9 and laughed cynically when the TV husband was surprised to hear about the pregnancy: "what the hell did he think they were doing?" I thought that women got pregnant every time they had sex.

I was raised in a very conservative religious home. When I was eight my oldest sister (actually half-sister, I found that out when I was in my 20s from a family friend, not from my family) ran way from home with her boyfriend, she was 16 and came home pregnant. My nephew was born with a birth defect that needed surgery to correct. I grew up thinking all illegitimate children were born with a birth defect.

I thought there were people stationed in buildings next to stop lights and they would change the light from green to yellow to red whenever they saw the traffic thinning out.

He was talented but a perv.

The cat of someone I used to know ran away from home and came back pregnant.
